every pain every burden
rest heavy inside the arch of my back
my body lays in the dirt
my face hidden from the sun
the earth shifts below me into sand
i am sinking under the weight of your sins
all the words you never say
silence made a home inside your throat
i am wanting i am pleading
for just the sound of your voice
starved of affection
i hunger for your touch
your hands caress only what they would possess
like a bandage you pull away from the wound
stripped away from my flesh
i am left bleeding and bare for whomever is next

If there ever was a soulmate for me... it would be the words that flow from me into stories and poetry. I want to share my passion with whoever is willing to read and listen.
